Slides and recording of the introduction of the webinar "Becoming Part of EOSC: Learn How to Prepare Your Services" that took place on October 18, 2022 as part of the series "Research Data Management in Austria". The event was organised to inform about the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) policies, use cases from the EOSC Catalogue, and practical steps that enable services to be onboarded to its trusted, federated environment. The vision of EOSC is to develop the “Web of FAIR data and services”. The European Commission supports EOSC realisation aiming, among other things, to simplify cross-country and interdisciplinary access and interoperability in European research outputs that will increase innovation and market competition. Having services and data in EOSC enhances collaboration and visibility of intellectual works leading to a better flow of scientific information that reaches wider audiences and gets more citations. By being part of EOSC, services are employed with best practices to support Open and FAIR research that is a prerequisite in the European Research Area, thus securing researchers’ competences and compliance with EU Open Science requirements. This event was supported by the NI4OS-Europe project that has designed the workflows and provides the tools for the onboarding of services to EOSC in the South East European region. Complementary, the OntoCommons project will highlight the work and best practices for ontologies in EOSC.
